You have totally missed the point of my post, and I guess most of those that modded it. EDIT: Ok this is starting to get a little weird. What's with the comical negative overreaction to my posts. What exactly did I say to warrant that?

> What exactly did I say to warrant that? Ironically, you have missed the point of the blog post. It wasn't written to market the service, nor to engage those who aren't engaged right now. Your comment sounds like it was written by a marketoid or a growth hacker.

  Oh I see, Pinboard is so innocent, so pure, that a honest tip about how to reach more people who can find their service useful should be modded into the ground. I've tainted the Jesus of bookmarks by even implicitly suggesting in my post that they might be writing with the intention to be read. No, I suppose their intention is way more cosmic and godly than such low earthly concerns, how stupid of me. Aight, aight. I never stop learning when I'm here on HN.

    Your advice on how to write more persuasively got downmodded into oblivion, and you believe that most people here missed the point of your post (which was about effective communication). What does this tell you?

      It tells me I should spend less time on HN. Happy Pinboard birthday, by the way.
    - PeterGriffin 12y ago
      All right, wishing you happy birthday got downmodded too. I'd just like to point out I'm for legalizing marijuana, I've signed a petition in support of net neutrality and I'm against killing babies. Let's see how this one goes.

      You tell me. Those comments being downmodded also marked my user as "dead". I only post to myself now (on my original user). That's despite those are my first ever downmodded comments, and I don't think I've said anything quite so horrible to completely kill my user. HackerNews is the most f-cking hostile news site I've seen.
